Game of thrones: The Lustful sellsword

Pain still lingered in my body as I leaned against the wooden frame of my bed, the stiffness in my muscles a constant reminder that this wasn't a dream. I had transmigrated into Westeros—the brutal, war-torn world of Game of Thrones—and the body I now inhabited belonged to Damon Waters, a young sellsword recovering from injuries.

I took a deep breath and forced myself to focus. The flood of memories from this body was disorganized, like shattered glass piecing itself back together. I closed my eyes and concentrated.

Where was I? What year was it?

The answer came slowly, but it solidified with certainty. The Greyjoy Rebellion had just ended. The ironborn had risen in rebellion against the Iron Throne, Balon Greyjoy declaring himself King of the Iron Islands. But his ambitions had been crushed by Robert Baratheon, Ned Stark, and Stannis Baratheon. Pyke had fallen. Victarion and Euron had been forced to retreat. The rebellion was over.

That meant I had arrived in Westeros in 290 AC, nearly a decade before the War of the Five Kings. Robert Baratheon still sat on the Iron Throne, and the realm was at peace… for now. But I knew this peace was fragile—wars would erupt soon, and chaos would consume the Seven Kingdoms.

I needed to prepare.

I turned my attention to the Sellsword System, my golden finger, my key to survival and power in this world.

A thought willed the familiar translucent screen to appear before me.

[Sellsword System]✔ Name: Damon Waters

✔ Age: 14

✔ Title: Rookie Sellsword

✔ Strength: 10

✔ Dexterity: 9

✔ Endurance: 11

✔ Charm: 22

✔ Status: Recovering from injuries

✔ Gold: 5 Dragons, 12 Silver Stags

✔ Current Quest: Survive and Thrive

✔ System Function Unlocked: Lust & War (Rewards based on battle and seduction)

The system was simple but effective—fight, seduce, and grow stronger. It didn't offer instant power but instead followed the rule of equivalent exchange.

I scrolled through my current quests, and another screen popped up.

[Current Tasks]

🔹 Primary Quest: Survive and Thrive

Objective: Establish yourself as a sellsword and begin carving out your path in Westeros.Rewards: Unlock System Shop, Gain Reputation

🔹 Daily Task Issued – Physical Conditioning

🔹 Daily Task Issued – Charm the World

Objective: Use your charisma to improve relations with at least one person today.Rewards: +0.1 Charm

So that was how this would work. No free handouts. I had to earn every point, every upgrade. My strength and endurance would only improve if I trained relentlessly, and my charm wouldn't be some overpowered ability that made women throw themselves at me—I had to earn their trust, desire, or submission through skill, wit, or seduction.

I exhaled slowly. This was perfect. I didn't want to be some overpowered god handed limitless power—I wanted to conquer this world through my own means.

But first, I had to figure out exactly where I was in Westeros.

Memories filtered in. I was in the Riverlands. Specifically, a small village near Stoney Sept. That meant I was in Targaryen loyalist territory, a land that had been ravaged by war in the past.

More importantly, it was a place that would soon be caught in the crossfire of future wars.

I needed to find work, find allies, and grow stronger.

With a smirk, I stretched my sore muscles and cracked my neck.

Time to make my first move in this world.
